Candy Darling on her deathbed (1974) photog: Peter Hujar

Darling died of lymphoma on March 21, 1974, aged 29, at the Columbus Hospital division of the Cabrini Health Care Center. In a letter written on her deathbed and intended for Warhol and his followers, Darling wrote, "Unfortunately before my death I had no desire left for life ... I am just so bored by everything. You might say bored to death. Did you know I couldn't last. I always knew it. I wish I could meet you all again." Her funeral, held at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel, was attended by huge crowds. Julie Newmar read the eulogy. Darling's birth name was never spoken by the minister or any of the eulogizers. Faith Dane played a piano piece, and Gloria Swanson saluted Darling's coffin.

"I loved Candy, and she adored me. She had such a strong sense of femininity … her femininity was even stronger than mine. I'd sometime slip and uncross my legs, but you'd never see Candy doing that. She always had her legs crossed just right. She'd fluff her hair and even flirt with my boyfriend, but I was never threatened by her. She so strongly appealed to me as a wonderful human being. The last time I saw her she was wearing this fabulous purple Harlow-ish nightgown. She was eating chocolate."

/ From Julie Newmar’s eulogy at Candy Darling’s funeral at The Frank E Campbell Funeral Chapel /

“Warhol superstar Candy Darling is synonymous with doomed glamour — a gorgeous woman playing a dying gorgeous woman. The image of her laid up in hospital, looking ready for her close-up in full makeup with one black rose on the pillow beside her, looks like a staged photo for a fashion magazine. But that picture, taken by Peter Hujar, is as staged as it is real. Candy Darling died of lymphoma in that hospital room in 1974. She was 29.”

/ From “50 years after Candy Darling’s death, Warhol superstar’s struggle as a trans actress still resonates” by Jessica Ferri, The Los Angeles Times, 18 March 2024 /

Died on this day fifty years ago: ethereally beautiful, memorable and funny transgender Warhol Superstar Candy Darling (24 November 1944 - 21 March 1974). (Yes, THE Candy “from out on the Island” commemorated in the 1972 Lou Reed song “Walk on the Wild Side”). Coincidentally, the ambitious new ten-years-in-the-making biography Candy Darling: Dreamer, Icon, Superstar by Cynthia Carr just dropped this month, and I can’t wait to devour it. Pictured: portrait of Darling on her deathbed by Peter Hujar (1934 – 1987).

“Mary Woronov burned herself into my brain when, as a college student in 1966, I first saw her smoldering, imperious performance in Andy Warhol’s epic film Chelsea Girls. She was one of the most original, stylish and articulate sexual personae of the royal House of Warhol. I never forgot her, and I followed her subsequent movie career with great fascination … Warholism, which is my philosophy as a critic, merged the visual and performing arts and closed the gap between high and popular culture. Thirty years later, it can be clearly seen that the Warhol Factory, with all its riveting decadent excesses, was as seminal an avant-garde circle as that of the Dadaists and Surrealists after World War I in Paris.”

/ Camille Paglia from the back cover blurb on Mary Woronov’s 1995 autobiography Swimming Underground: My Years in the Warhol Factory /

Born on this day 80 years ago (8 December 1943): insolent Warhol Superstar turned queen of cult movies, actress, writer, visual artist and recovered amphetamine enthusiast … Mary Woronov! I love the strikingly angular Woronov’s deadpan performances, resting bitch face and witheringly contemptuous voice in Silent Night, Bloody Night (1972) (which is recommended Christmas viewing by the way), Death Race 2000 (1975), Rock’n’Roll High School (1979) and Eating Raoul (1982). But hell, Woronov is even great value doing guest spots on episodes of Charlie’s Angels (1976) and Murder, She Wrote (1985). One of the best things she ever did was play the mother in punk band Suicidal Tendencies’ 1983 video “Institutionalized” (“All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me”). Pictured: sullen young Woronov as Hanoi Hannah in Chelsea Girls (1966).
